Traditional line managers lack interest / incentives for projects. Even though they might be high priority, different functions have different goals and measurements. The managers themselves fail every new line initiative, since they've no project / PM experience too, and also no support or real budgets. When this happens, look at the environment though for answers.
This type of managing is running out of time, as it simply doesn't work that well beyond managers having eachother's backs. Managers need to involve themselves much more around projects / Agile, than just borrowing and stealing back "resources". If they can't provide servant leadership skills and healthy repurposing of roles, they need to stay away and clear blocks, allocate funds and people, from quite a distance.
